Vancouver Solar installed my solar panel system. The install went really well and I can say the workmanship and system is top notch! Tarum is very professional and always kept me apprised of everything. Tarum has a huge amount of experience and knowledge in solar systems worldwide and it shows when you observe him in action. I would recommend Vancouver Solar to anyone!
